Application filed April :4,

T a all whom it may concern Be it known that I,,J0HN B. ll lusna citizen of the United. States, residing-vat Cameron, in the county of Moore and State of North Carolina,-- have -inyented certain new and useful. Improvem nts '(lombinfa tion Driers and Cookers, of whichc-tlie fo'llowing. is a; specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying dra wings.

This invention relatesto a combination drier and cooker,- and the object ,ofthe in.- vention is the constructionof a simple and. efficient apparatus for dryingfri it or vegee tables, cooking, or roasting peanuts, andiiesired, baking pastryand bread-and the lke. With the foregoing and mtherobjects view, my invention comprises certain nevel combinations, constructions and arrange mentsp'f partsfa's Twjillhe hereinafter described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and more particularly pointed out in the appended claims.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a longitudinal, sectional view of an apparatus constructed in accordance with the present invention, while Figure 2 is a sectional view, taken on line 2--2, Fig. 1, and looking in the direction of the arrows.

Figure 3 is a view in front elevation of the apparatus.

Figure 4 is an enlarged, sectional view, taken on line 1-4, Fig. 3.

Referring to the drawings by numerals, 1 comprises the primary casin in the bottom of which is a fire-box 2 provided with grate 3. The grate 3 is provided with comp'arae tively wide slots 4, upon which wood may be placed, whereas portion 5 may be usedfor burning coal. Ifit is desired, the grate can be reversed so as to place portion 5 near the door 6, when burning coal. The angular smoke pipe 7 opens at its inner end into the fire-box 2, and extends outwardly across the cylinder peanut container 8 and the baking chamber 9, thence the smoke pipe 7 extends through the rear wall of easing 1 upwardly to near the top of the casing and thence inside the casing to the front of the same, and then through the top as shown at 10. Heat and smoke passing through the pipe 7 will assist in heating the entire apparatus, as a great amount of the ingl Fig; 1.-

' Abbve the air easingpll as "follows: Each inlet pipe 12 is substantially 'U -shape, having at its outer,

lower. end a nozzle =13, allowing the Iairto *pipe is exposed to the interior of the cas ,fire -b.ox -2pi's positionedfresh ?L1r caS1 ng ':1*1 this air casing 11 is comparative, broad andflat and projects at;

readily enter the ipe; the inner end of"- pipe-12 is threaded into. thetop .of air casing 11, and on the threadedend is a nut-14 WhiC-li' IS -.no rrnally*=sfcrewedtight against casi ng'1 1 for holding the pipe'12 close to casing..-1,-' for efiicientnoperation. By;-u-ni-. ,screwing,nutsiii, the--pipes 12-? can be ew d tr m as ng' li andupon e ng ts il r g vanes as ngv -l th P51365312 will be held but of the way, and as close to the casing 1 as the operator desires.

An oil tank 15 is placed upon the side of casing 1, and the pipe '16 provides means for supplying the furnace of an apparatus with oil, which furnace is constituted by the firebox 2 and its coordinate parts.

The peanut roaster Scan be utilized at the will of the operator for roasting peanuts or coffee beans, or the like.

In the baking compartment 9 suitable pans 17 are positioned, whereby my apparatus can be utilized, if desired, for baking pastry, or bread, or the like.

The drying trays 18are placed above the fire-box 2, peanut'roaster 8 and pans 17 by supporting the same upon angle brackets 19, fastened to the inner face of the casing 1.

Legs 20 support the apparatus off the floor, or any suitable support.

Dotted lines 21 designate the door for the baking compartment 9, Fig. -1.

It is to be understood that fresh air entering air inlet pipes 12.passes into the flat air casing 11, thence is discharged into the interior of the apparatus, preferably against drying trays 18, as shown by the arrows in 1 ment.

tensive manufacture of the same and 1, therefore, reserve the right to make such alterations or changesias shall fairly fall within the scope of the appended claims.

What I claim is: 7 V 1. In an apparatus the combination of a casing provided with a fire-box, said casing provided with a peanut roaster and with a baking compartment, baking pans in said baking compartment, and drying trays in said-casing above said fire-box, peanut roaster and baking compart- 2. In an apparatus of the class described, theicombination ofia casing-provided with a fire-box, a smoke pipe opening at its inner end. into said fire-box and extending outwardly and through one end of the casing and extending upward on the outside of said casing, said smoke pipe extending nto said casingcagainst the top thereof and through the top at the outer endof said smoke pipe; and a drying tray in said casing above said fire-box and between portions of the smoke pipe,substantially as shown and described. r Y

3.- In an apparatus of the class described,

the combination of'a casing provided in its bottom and at its'front end witha fire-box, a flat air casing ovefsaid fire-box and eX- tending at its inner endibeyond the inner end of the fire-box and opening into said of the class described,

casing, said air casing extending at its ou ter end'beyondithe outer face of said casing, a

' pair of inverted su'bstantially'U-shaped air inlet pipes provided on their outer ends with nozzles, each pipe provided with a threaded inner end extending into said air casing, a lock nut on the inner end of each air inlet pipe against'the air casing, and a smoke 40 the combination of a casing provided with -a fire-box, an air casing n said first-mentioned casing above the fire-box, a plurality of air inlet pipes connected to said air casing, means locking said air inlet pipes on said air caslng, and a smoke pipe connected to said'fire-box;

5. In an apparatus'of the class described,

the combination of'a casing provided with a fire-box, a projectingalr casing above said fire-box, rotatable air inlet pipes connected 'to the projecting portion of said air casing, rotatable locking means on said air inlet pipes, and a smoi ze'pipe connected to said fire-box and extending through and above said casing, In testimony whereof I hereunto aflix my signature.
